Beautiful. I cry each time I watch that final scene. It is heart rending. One if the special features of the characters is the fact that as flawed as they may be, each of them has goodness in their hearts be it the busybody gossip or Celia's husband.

This was really interesting. I stumbled on this movie back in the 1980s when it happened to just be on TV randomly in my area. That’s in the state of Oregon of all places. I couldn’t find anything else to watch so I thought what the heck… I didn’t expect too much because movies of that era can be kind of hit and miss… But I was was gobsmacked. I’ve seen the movie several times since then and bought it on DVD. It’s really rich and interesting and a little window on what England looked like at that time in history. I’ve also thoroughly enjoyed Celia Johnson’s performance in, “this happy breed”. I also stumbled on that movie just randomly broadcast in my area. I’ve seen it several times since and just love it.

But back to brief encounter… Celia Johnson was really remarkable. Trevor Howard was superb also. All the supporting cast… I just really enjoy the movie and I’m always so happy when she finally chooses to be true to her husband, and he is so gallant. A man definitely worth staying true to. Understanding, not vindictive, not suspicious, kind, and truly loved her.

This is one of the best films ever.. On this subject..., makes you think and hopefully come to your senses.. Because no amount of happiness can come out of others misery...

This must be one of the most romantic films ever made.
A perfect cast of Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard with direction by
the legendary David Lean supplemented by the score of Rachmaninoff.
Makes me cry every

The greatest film ever made and this is a great documentary. Why so few views?

[davidheggi]

Yes, that's it: this is a love story about honorable people. So captivating

[edcampion]

I always thought the husband knew all about it when he said "thank you for coming back to me".Bascially saying thanks for staying with me and not going off with trevor howard.That is my favourite line in the movie.

What is it about this movie that makes it so intriguing and captivating ? Everything! Yes, Rachmaninoff piano concerto number 2 is the perfect song for this movie. Thank you for this documentary.

[rogerthompson]

The most marvellous movie !
“Please let me look, I happen to be a doctor” - one the all time great pick up lines.

One of my favourites.
I think I've watched it about 20 times.

I'm just finding out how great were the movies from 1940s. Great actors, director. No wonder it is so well told. A good director makes a total difference. Watching from Brazil. Thank for sharing it!

[frantrictantric]

Masterpiece of a film and executed greatly by all.

Absolutely FANTASTIC video!! I've watched Brief Encounter at LEAST 500 times.. and now I'm about to make it 501 !

LIKE THE PRODUCER SAID, ITS A COUPLE WHO ' NEVER HAD THE TIME' TO DEVELOP FURTHER... IN OTHER WORDS, SHOULD SAME COUPLE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER AND SAW EACH OTHER REGULARLY, IT COULD WELL OF TURNED INTO A TRUE LOVE AFFAIR THAT MAY HAVE LED TO DIVORCE, OR AT LEAST THE VERY DEEPEST LOVE AFFAIR FOR A LONG TIME.. BUT AS THEY DIDNT MEET REGULARLY ENOUGH, THEY COULD STOP IT BEFORE IT BEGAN...

[judyappleby]

Absolutely wonderful! Nothing like it since that time, and the music …. It couldn’t have been anything other than the Rachmaninov, so poignant, so sad, so meaningful. First saw this film 50 years ago and it remains my forever favourite. No film ever touched me the same until The Bridges of Madison County with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. I cry every time.

Best love declaration ever'do you know what is happening, don't you'

[Kay-rpfz]

[zwtssiu]

Watched Brief encounter many times, loved it, it was my mums favourite movie also.

I was in the UK recently and went to the Tea Room at Carnford Station for afternoon tea where the movie was shot. Watched the movie again last night and couldn’t get over the cringe factor. He is really creepy, asking a woman he doesn’t know for a date, and she seems completely vacuous. I enjoyed the afternoon tea more than the movie. On another note, visited Portmeiron where The Prisoner was filmed. Really enjoyed seeing apartment of Number 6, today a gift shop.
